Who Is Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Why Do the Mariners Want Him?

[@carlosclaudio9635]

Colby’s pouty silhouette face would be awesome 😂 or Ty’s face w/ the glasses saying hit it

[@charliecochran3035]

Go big or go home. Commit $750 million to a pair of Japanese players.

[@MrMargret]

That would be great , but not gonna get my hopes up. trying to shake off last season but it resenates.

[@Trainy2]

Our ownership has a lot to prove

[@scottlundstad1975]

We need at least two bat's in the off season

[@Vanessaira-Retro]

"Part of the Ship, part of the Crew" QotD: "I don't care..." XD

[@Extinguisher10]

I would love to see a Yoshi / Kirby team up!

[@maxgutfreund3650]

Ahoy Sailors shirt all the way!!!!

[@emeraldvalleykush]

A shirt that says “Have a beautiful baseball day” with Colby’s face on it

[@coreyjengdahl]

Would buy 10/10

[@studiggity7742]

😂😂😂

[@seitostockman]

For the shirt: Colby's face with cat ears and Grumpy Cat Colby as the text

[@dorianruble7807]

We need a shirt that says “Chills”

[@메이저리그팬]

야마모토 요시노부 데려오면 좋겠다

[@uncle-ted]

Mariners have zero chance of Yamamoto! don't get these people's hopes up!

[@calinator51]

I know another guy who was like 5'11" 170lbs. He did pretty well for Boston in the late 90's early 2000's. Why does it matter? Longevity I guess?

[@michaelcarlton8439]

Ahoy guys! Ideas for tshirts: I love thanksgiving I don’t care Colby hit it Chills

[@jgamez215]

I feel like "The P Stands for Power" merch just needs to be a given, should merch happen. Lol

[@LobisTNeal]

Shohei Ohtani Yoshinobu Yamamoto Luis Castillo Robbie Ray George Kirby Logan Gilbert One can only wish...

[@derrickspitzer3718]

Hard pass on Ohtani. I want to win the world series

[@TerryT0114]

Six man rotation sounds like a great idea, two years in a row the M's pitchers were burned at the end of the year. To me it seems obvious but I'm just a dummy that watches when I can. I do NOT believe in the owner, he's done a couple good things but not nearly enough. They are right there, right on the cusp of being great. Why can't they get a couple decent hitters in? They don't have to be the best they just have to be good. But it hasn't happened!? The owner group is making sick money an they'll continue to even being just a little above average. That team appreciates by $100M or more every year, i doubt we'll ever see great free agent signings here with the current owner. They say he's a baseball guy but I think he's a baseball guy more concerned about making money than making a winner of the WS.

[@Sandul666]

I'll take a grumpy cat team Colby shirt

[@GawsRob]

I want to see a shirt with Colby's face and underneath it says: ....sure

[@Extinguisher10]

What no "I don't care", or "I love Thanksgiving "?

[@Warfamgaming]

With the news arozarena is available, what are the chances the mariners make a package of miller/kelenic/ford/young for him and yandy diaz, then go out and sign gurriel and snell

[@bigdzzzy]

Go after this guy when we have a Home Town Cy Young Award Winner that wants to play for the M’s? That’s how stupid this organization is! Snell wants to be a Mariner!

[@LockedOnMariners]

Yamamoto is significantly better than Snell, so Snell can frankly kick rocks if Yamamoto wants to sign with you

[@bigdzzzy]

@@LockedOnMariners Wow a Japan pitcher is better than the best USA has to offer huh? The Cy Young winner can kick rocks, a homegrown kid, you guys can kick rocks see ya! Your not worth hearing at this point

[@Extinguisher10]

Kaz Sazaki to a lesser extent

[@paulhan7770]

"Seattle deserves a better ownership"- I will definitely get this tee.

[@kylemcmanus73]

This is arguably the best podcast you guys have put out. Well done, Gents!

[@josephde8691]

Get snell too. Crazy

[@Christopher-de9bs]

Love the show. I watch everyday 😊

[@dsnow42]

Get Yama then trade Bryce, Brian W, France for Paul G 😇

[@grumpyrock]

That would be a monumental overpay. Goldy only has 1 year left on his contract lol. If woo or Miller is moved. It will be for a player with multiple years of control. Hence why we won’t be in on Soto.

[@dsnow42]

Yeah your right but it been a fun lineup for one year 😂

[@grumpyrock]

@@dsnow42 100% but we could get more for that amount of players

[@bryanfoss6736]

Does Marco Gonzalez become a middle inning reliever? Should we sign Yamamoto

[@luigivincenz3843]

Im not sorry for where he is because he signed a big multi year contract years ago. He's set for life.

[@Passionately44]

I really hope we can sign him. Trade Marco Gonzales and Brian Woo for a big third baseman that is good on fielding and batting.

[@RodneyCoder]

Great stuff guys I love your content. I appreciate your insidish information and analysis. I wanted to just share a mind blowing experience I just read a writer from Pittsburg write an article about trading for Gonzales or Ray by taken on Salary from the Mariners. H did mentioned the Mariners could be looking to dump salary to go after a big name pitcher but the optics of a Pirates writer is mentioning the mariners in that light pretty big kick in the guys

[@jimgates6879]

How about a Tee shirt with - CHILLS

[@TimothyRossman]

What about a solid hitter? Ty France on the trading block? Will Teoscar be offered a contract for 2024?

[@bessiefunk2037]

Sorry..Yankees are on the verge

[@Pos31d0n]

After all this time I still don’t understand “Thank you for making us your first listen”…… It bothers me more than makes sense….

[@Hannah-pi6ln]

I think they mean it like "thanks in advance" kinda like "thank you for not talking during the movie" kinda thing

[@pauljacobs6478]

with the rest of the roster the way it is, i would rather have Imanaga and Lee than Yamamoto. Watched Shota here in Japan, and i just think its a better fit、he is a lefty and Yamamoto might have a premium. love the podcast dudes!!

[@adamschwindt201]

I would do this: 1. Sign Yamamoto 2. Trade Marco for a bat 3. Trade Castillo, Woo, Miller, & Possibly Gilbert for a 3B & a 1B. 4. Trade France for a pitcher stick him on the bench in a Utility Role. Definitely interested in that possibility. Could you imagine a rotation of: 1. Castillo 2. Kirby 3. Yamamoto If your going bat its gotta be JRam from Cleveland.
